Apis

On a recent trekking,

we got lost in the thick growth of the jungle.

After hours of disorientation we found a path,

leading us past a stream of the freshest water.

We followed it upstream,

hoping to find a house or some village where we could rest

and eat before continuing our way back home.

Hours passed until we reached this long forgotten temple complex,

where we got to see a Shinigami raising from the underworld.

 

It warned us for entering this world of darkness,

we had no choice but continue our way,

which would be riddled with surprises.

 

We were quite unsettled by the meeting of this Shinigami.

All we knew was that no human has ever really seen them.

Our path continued past some ancient relics,

weathered by the hand of time,

until Chernobog, the dark god, appeared and

told us to leave and never speak to anyone about this place.

 

Fear was entering our souls, we ran from the Dark God,

trying not to panic and make irrational decisions.

What was this place?

It looked like it was built ages before all known civilisations existed.

There was a mix of runes, old pali script,

buddhist and pagan symbols, it was everywhere carved into boulders of granite.

What is this place?

Then Anubis rose from the earth, warning us again,

there was no place for us mortals to roam here.

We had to leave… NOW.

 

After that last warning, the earth rumbled and crumbled.

Fire and steam rose from the cracks.

Apis rose from the depths, in rage,

and started chasing us out of the jungle.

We ran and ran till our last breath.

A bright light fell over us,

as a blanket of love and life.

 

We made it out!

 

But where were we?

Where did we just come from?

Was this just a terrible dream or did it really happen?
